Expressions Gallery and Gift Shop: Shop Early and Ship Soon

Sherry Blatner

Winter hours are now in effect at the Gallery. Shop from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday. A holiday closing to note: The Gallery will only be open a half day on Wednesday, Nov. 24 and will be closed on Thanksgiving.

Shop early for your Hanukkah gifts. The first night of Hanukkah is Nov. 28, and with the postal service slowing its service, you will need to mail items at least a week in advance. Happy Hanukkah!

Hopefully, you’re starting to think festively—there’s lots to choose from in the Expressions Gallery. Especially noteworthy are quilts and quilted items to decorate your home for both the Thanksgiving season and beyond. Some of these items will become family heirlooms. What a great way to create a legacy.

Other memories may be created by adding sparkle to a special someone’s jewelry collection. A lovely assortment of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings is beautifully displayed for you to purchase a fabulous gift in a peaceful environment. November is a quiet shopping month—no crowds, no noise, plenty of parking, and lots of fun.

Remember the reader on your gift list, and browse the many books authored by your neighbors. There is an age-appropriate selection for everyone on your list.

There’s no need to haul yourself off to Scottsdale for clothing for those treasured 18 inch dolls—just enjoy the search right at home. Items include everything from everyday wear to wedding gowns, and tons of accessories, even hangers!

Pick a convenient time to shop, and hang back to enjoy the wonderful selection of wall art hanging in the Gallery and also in the showcase window in the Creative Arts Center. Also, take time to enjoy the selection of glass, ceramic, porcelain, and wood gifts available in PebbleCreek and nowhere else. Truly one-of-a-kind gift giving is possible in the Creek.

The long-awaited “yarn bomb” is now showcased in the Knimble Kneedles window at the far end of the Creative Arts Center. Many thanks to everyone who helped create this charming piece. Be sure to stroll down to see this unique creation. Special thanks to the woodcarvers who crafted the frame and the Gallery staff who imagined and completed the project.
